I've got a VIP 622 hooked up via HDMI to a Samsung 52" through a Pioneer V25.

I've noticed lately that several channels don't have any sound, e.g. History Intl, AMC.

Tonight I noticed that my local NBC I had the background music with non of the talking, then it would be OK for a bit.

Dish basically said too bad, so sad. They couldn't help.

Has anyone had this happen to them? How was it resolved?

Thanks

Have you tried for testing purpose's removing the Pioneer V25 from the loop?See if the problem is between the Dish Reciever and the Pioneer? I had a problem with a Pioneer VSX-815 and my ViP622. Only resolution was a replacement of the Pioneer, as Pioneer didn't have an upgrade. The problem was hit and miss too, some shows would sound garbled/muted voices, with the music just fine, and the next show on the same station, no problems at all.

Have you tested audio out of the sat box other than the HDMI? I have found things like this to be a notorious problem with HDMI on some devices eventually switching to component because it's too unacceptable to the customer to have service "kind of work."

I have just (w/i last 7 days) upgraded my 2nd DVR from 625 to 722K and have expereinced so many audio problems that I nver had with the 625 nor from my primary DVR which is a three year old 722.

What's up with this? Amongst sync problems between digital video and analog audio and the famous "garbled" sound issue; the sound from my from speakers (center and left and right) sounds like people are talking into a 55 gallon steel drum. Others have had some and all of the problems with the 722K that I am experiencing.

Is it that all the software changes that are going on, are affecting the audio on this machine, or is the design of the new? K version just plain got problems?

By the way, where can we find the latest version of the software, both from Dish and on the DVR's? Also, do the 722 and 722K have the same software versions? I don't expect that because my 722 keeps going great and all the problems I see are with the 722K.

Thanks for any advise or direction to find info that may be here in the forums somewhere, but I am too inexperienced to know where to look.
